SARS won't affect access to College

|

In line with recommendations from the Center for Disease Control, Dartmouth is openly welcoming students and visitors from countries that the World Health Organization has highlighted as being high-risk for Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome. Although other colleges have enacted policies requiring individuals who may have been exposed to SARS to spend 10 days outside of their country before coming to campus -- allowing for the 10-day incubation period that occurs before symptoms appear -- Dartmouth is not instating such a policy, said Dr. Jack Turco, Director of Health Services at the College during a panel discussion yesterday. "We're welcoming people to come to campus," Turco said. Turco and Steve Silver, the Director of the International Office, expressed their fears that the SARS scare would result in racial profiling. "We don't want people who look like they come from China to be treated differently," Turco said.

Rich traditions come and go in weekend's history

|

Green Key is not the biggest of the big weekends, but for over 100 years it has given students an opportunity to take time off their academic work and relax in warm weather after a long New Hampshire winter. The weekend's long and diverse history began in the spring of 1899, when members of the class of 1900 held the first Spring House-Parties weekend. This precursor to Green Key Weekend celebrated the arrival of spring after a particularly long winter.
